Organiser

Vessy Tasheva

Reason for being involved in workshop: I believe that a boardroom should be filled with people who complement each other in terms of experiences and background. We need all voices to be heard! Being a speaker is a way to grow from a successful professional into an influencer and a leader. The Global Diversity CFP Day enables exactly that; it helps people build the confidence and acquire the skills needed to be on the journey to becoming a leader.

Facilitator

Sheeka Patak

Reason for being involved in workshop: I think it's important to give people all the tools they need to succeed, especially those from underrepresented groups for whom "mainstream" resources might not be sufficient or available.

About Sheeka: I'm an engineer at Zendesk and I'm really passionate about promoting minorities and tech.
